The situation raises a difficult question: how should the legal system balance accountability with serious age-related disability? Courts can consider medical limitations when determining whether someone can participate in depositions or hearings and what accommodations may be appropriate. But being elderly, blind, or seriously ill does not by itself erase a civil judgment or prevent a court from continuing proceedings.
Whatever your opinion of Bill Cosby, the legal question remains separate from his health: should someone who has been found civilly liable still be required to face the consequences, even when serious medical problems make the legal process much more difficult? What do you think?
